INTRODUCTION

We take pleasure in presenting to
our readers the Year Book for 1925.
It tells of another year of service for
the Master. In the articles will be
found information concerning nearly
every phase of activity of the Menno-
nite Church. It is the aim in this
annual publication to give historical
and inspirational articles, which de-
scribe the work that has: been done
in the past and the opportunities
which lie before us and beckon us
on to more faithful service in the
future. :

mission

Our work, relief work,
young people’s meeting activities,
Sunday school, evangelistic, educa-

tional, and charitable labors are all
_ dealt with by some competent writer.

We cannot refer to all of these

articles in detail nor would we do so

if we had sufficient space. Their
message speaks for them better than
anything which we could say. How-
ever, there are a few things that we
wish to call especial attention to.

Inifatannary) | 1525; occurred the

organization of religious forces that,

may properly be called the beginning
of the present Mennonite Church,
altho that’) name was not adopted
Hence our church has
now reached its four hundredth anni-
versary. In commemoration of this
event we print a_ historical sketch
by Bro. Horsch in which the _ be-
ginnings of the Church are _ briefly
stated. We hope our four hundredth
birthday will stimulate a greater
interest in the history of our fore-
fathers in the Faith, and instill with-
in us a burning desire to live lives
worthy of the rich heritage which
they have left us, the story of which
is written in blood. Our appreciation
of what they have done for us will
best be expressed in the living of
lives that are wholly consecrated and
devoted to the service of our Master,

for which our fathers labored and
died.

The article describing the Histori-
¢al ‘Library which is located’ at ‘the
Mennonite Publishing House at Scott-
dale will bring before us some idea
of the rich store of historical ma-
terial which has been collected. We
hope the Church in general wilt
learn to prize its value and members
avail themselves of its use, which is
free to all who come to Scottdale.

The year that is past has been the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the estab-
lishment of foreign mission work by
our people. Progress has been made,

but. we look forward to the next

quarter of a century if the Lord tar-
ries, to bring us still greater achieve-
ments. May our. prayers ascend to:
this end. The article by Bro. Ressler
on Memories of India will be read

with interest, we are sure. |

The Calendar of Events which

’ again appears this year has been com-

piled by Bro. L. J. Heatwole, Dale
Enterprise, Va. It will be found a
helpful record of events for handy
reference.

The tabular work giving the sta-
tistics of our various conferences,
congregations, missions, boards, char--
itable instituitions, etc., as well as the
directory of ministers and. deacons,.
has been carefully revised and
brought up to date as much as possi-—
ble with the information that has-
been furnished us. The responses to
our requests for information have
been quite general but we can hardly
hope that everything is absolutely
correct. And in this connection we
would say, if you find any errors,
report them while you think of it and’
we will correct them next time.

As we go on with our work during:
the present year, let us remember
that God is keeping a greater Year’
Book in which we want our records.
to appear pleasing to Him.

THE MISSIONARY RECORD
AND OUTLOOK OF THE
MENNONITE CHURCH

By .S:;) BE. Allgyver

When we think of mission work in
the. Mennonite Church, we are in-
clined to think of it beginning about
the: year 1893, when the first city
mission was born. But in the mind
of the writer some phase of mission
work has been done ever since the
Faith and Doctrine of the Mennonite

one country to another, making
great sacrifice, until they finally set-
tled in. this country, where liberty
of conscience was granted. The first
Church was organized near German-
town, Pa., in the year 1708. After
the establishment of a number of
eastern Pennsylvania
they began to move south to Vir-
ginia,. and westward,..until). at. the
present time we have well established
churches in many places from the
eastern coast to the western coast,

churches in

The New Church in Kansas City, Kans.

Church ’ was adopted about 400 years
ago. However, for more than three’
and a half centuries of the history of
the Church, the idea of propagating
the Gospel apparently was not so
prominent in the minds of our fore-
fathers as that of maintaining the
principles and doctrines’ of © the
Church, and gathering into the fold
their own children.

During this period of church work,
greater sacrifice was made than is
required of our present missionaries
_ going to India or South’ America,
“when we consider the inconvenience
of transportation and the persecutions
that necessitated ‘their moving from

as’ ‘well asin
Canada.
Perhaps few of us stop to think of
the debt we owe to those who have
preceded us in establishing churches,
clearing forests and building roads,
thus giving the present generation a-
goodly ‘heritage both in material and
sp ritual ° advantages. The brethren
in Virginia were the first to carry
the Gospel outside their own circle,
going into the mountain regions of
Virgin'a and West Virginia about the
year 1845. During the Civ’l War the
work begun by these early mission-
aries was seriously hindered, but after
the war the work was again taken up 7

many provinces of

~ near Bluffton, Ohio.

and others and is_ still continued.

The next missionary step in the
Church was the organization of the
first Sunday school, in 1863, in Logan
County, Ohio. Brethren David Plank
and Jacob Kanagy were the pioneers
in this movement, and only a few
of the scholars of this first Sunday
school remain to this day. Possibly
no other agency has grown more
rapidly and has been more _ instru-
mental in leading souls to Christ
than the Sunday school.

The first evangelistic meetings were
held in Michigan by J. S. Coffman,
in the year 1881. The following year
the first board was organized for the
purpose of assisting work of this
nature. The funds collected the first
year amounted to $26.36. The next
forward movement in the church was
the organization of a Sunday School

Conference at the Clinton Frame
Church near Goshen, Ind., in 1892.
In 1893 the second Sunday school

conference was held at Zion church,
At this meeting
the mission spirit was greatly agi-
tated and as a result the first city
mission was born, and the work
started. soon after’ in ‘the ‘city of
Chicago, but apparently the attempt
was not very successful nor appre-
ciated and was closed for a lack of
support and workers in 1895. How-
ever, it was soon reopened and for
thirty years many’ have had the privi-
lege of hearing the Gospel, until at
present the Home Mission of Chicago
has a membership of 91. In. 1896
the first board was enlarged and. the
name changed.

Following the famine in India a
number of brethren became. burdened
for souls in this dark, neglected field,
and as a result of this. conviction
the first missionaries were sent to
India in the year 1899, namely J. A.
Ressler .,and,,Dr:.,,and Mrs. , Page.
Bro. Ressler has again gone to India,
his third trip. i

The same year another board was

organized for the purpose of caring
for the charitable work of the Church.
The Orphans’ Home had = already
been established in the year 1896, in
Wayne County, Ohio, and in 1900,
Supt. A. Metzler with his little band
of .workers and children, moved to
the location, West Liberty, O. Since
that time many improvements have
been made and 803 children have
been taught the way of.life, cared for,
and placed in homes through the
efforts of this institution.

In 1900 two more missionaries were
sent to ‘India, Brother. and Sister
Burkhard. Others followed later and
at the present time there are 22
brethren and sisters in this needy
field, with a church membership of
1200. Four of these noble
workers have given their lives for
the cause of the Lord, and are bur-
iced beneath the sod of India, await-
ing the ressurrection morning. In
1906 the two existing boards were
merged and the present name of the
Board adopted, Mennonite Board of
and Charities, with head-

and see some well established con-
gregations that are whole-heartedly
defending the principles and doctrines
of the Church which is a very encour-
aging feature in the work. The rural
field is receiving more attention and
the planting of the mission spirit
into the coming generation through
the various methods that are being
used makes the outlook especially en-
couraging.

FOURTH CENTENNIAL ANNI-
VERSARY OF THE, FOUND-
ING OF THE MENNO-
NITE CHURCH

By John Horsch

The first congregation of the
Mennonite Church was organized in
the month of January, 1525, in the
city of Zurich in Switzerland. As a
church we ‘are now four hundred
years old.

Four centuries ago, before the or-
ganization of the congregation in
Zurich, there existed an evangelical
denomination called the Waldenses.
They were found in various countries
of Europe, especially in certain moun-

EEE

tain regions of Italy and France.
They were severely persecuted for
their faith, The Waldenses defended
the principle of nonresistance. In
faith and practice they were similar
to the Mennonites. The, early fath-
ers of the Mennonite Church were
influenced by the Waldenses.

Among the founders of the. first
congregation in Zurich Conrad Gre-

bel, Felix Manz, and George Blau-
rock deserve mention. There was in
Zurich, besides the Mennonite congre-
gation, a idarge Protestant Church,
of the Zwinglian denomination. It was
called a state church because it was
united with the state, or with the
civil government. The government
enforced a law that every person,
whether he desired to be a Christian

or not, must unite with the Protes-

tant state church. . Whosoever de-
clined to do so was severely punished.
The state church was not. organized
according to Scriptural principles. It
was merely a department of the
state. |

in other respects also the = state

various points of clear Scriptural
teaching.

Professor Walter Koehler, of the
University of Zurich, a noted his-
torian of the Reformed Church says,
the early Mennonites stood loyally

8 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK

and uncompromisingly for the Chris-
tianity of the Bible, and it was_ be-
cause of their loyalty to Scripture
teaching that they refused to make
common cause with the Protestant
state church. He speaks of them as
“consistent Bible Christians.” Anoth-
er Protestant! historian, Professor
Hagenbach, of Basel, said in his
“History of the Reformation” that
their leading principle was, to lay
hold on the truths and precepts of
Scripture with a believing heart and
carry them out in life.

The early fathers of the Menno-
nite Church realized that a union of
church and state is unscriptural and
that under the state church system
various Biblical teachings and com-
mands could not be heeded. There-
fore they refused to unite with the
state church. The consequence was
that the state took severe measures
dgainst them.’ ‘Many “were. put to
death for their faith. Notwithstand-
ing the bloody persecution, ‘the

parts of

spirit.

Most of the early fathers of the
Church gave their lives in testimony
for the truth. Conrad Grebel died in
prison at Mayenfeld, in 1526, Felix
Manz was executed by drowning at
Zurich, in. January, 152/., George
Blaurock was burned at the stake
at Clausen in Tyrol, 1529. Michael
Sattler who, it is believed, wrote the

first Mennonite confession of faith,
was burned at the stake in Rotten-
burg in Germany, in. May, 1527.

Many others died a martyr’s death.

Such was their loyalty to God’s
Word that they would not under
any consideration depart from its
teachings. Great were the sufferings,

privations, and hardships which they
endured. It has been rightfully said
that the early history of the Church

‘is written with blood and _ tears.”
In January of the year 1536, or
about eleven years after the founding
of the first congregation in Zurich,
Menno Simons was _ converted and
united with the Church. He was
born in 1496 at Witmarsum in Fries-
land, Holland. He was brought up
in the Roman Catholic Church and
was educated for the priesthood. At

the time of his conversion he was
a priest at Witmarsum. He knew
that if he followed his conviction

and united with the brotherhood, it
would mean for him a life “under the
cross” of persecution. Yet he decided
to. be: true to his conviction and ac-
ce>t the plain teaching of the Scrip-
tures. He became the most noted
church leader in Holland and North
Germany.

Menno Simons’ life was one of
hardship and privation. A large sum
of money was offered to those who
would deliver him up, dead or alive,
to the authorities. The government
of certain states decreed that any
house where he was received or
given lodgng was to be confiscated.

Concerning Menno Simons’ private
life not much its known. He _ was
married and had a family of two
daughters and a son named, John.
His wife’s name was Gertrude. The
last years of his life he lived undis-
turbed at Wustenfelde near Fresen-
burg in Holstein, North Germany,
under the protection granted him by
a certain nobleman, Here he owned

a printing press. He died in peace
in 1561.

Menno Simons was a prolific writ-
er, ever ready to expound and defend
the faith and to repudiate the slan-
ders advanced by those who perse-
cuted the Church. The name Menno-
nite was first used as a nickname by
the opponents but was later adopted
by the brotherhood. Menno’s most
prominent co-worker was Dirck (The-
odore) Philips. His writings, as well
as those of Menno Simons, have been

AND DIRECTORY 9

translated and published in the Eng-
lish language.

In Holland the bloody persecution
soon abated and toleration was grant-
ed to the Mennonites by the state
authorities. In Switzerland perse-
cution continued for over two cen-
turies. The last Swiss martyr was
Bishop Hans Landis who was. be-
headed at Zurich, in 1614, but perse-
cution by imprisonment and confis-
cation of. property continued more
than a century longer. After 1650
many fled into the Palatinate, a
province on the Rhine in South
Germany. ‘This, by the way, is the
district where the dialect is spoken
which in America is known as the
Pennsylvania |,.German,:). The ~\preat

majority of the early German settlers

in Eastern Pennsylvania,
many Mennonites, came

including
from the

Palatinate. Thus the Palatinate dia-
lect was transplanted to America.
The Mennonites of the Palatinate

were descendants of Swiss refugees.
With few exceptions both the Menno-
nite and Amish Mennonite settlers of

‘Pennsylvania were of Swiss descent.

The rulers of the Palatinate per-
mitted the Mennonite people to set-
tle in this province but did not give

them the liberty enjoyed by the
members of the state church. They
were oppressed in various ways. Up-

on the invitation of William Penn
many came to Pennsylvania. From
here the Church spread to Virginia,
Ontario, Ohio, and farther west. In
the nineteenth century Mennonites
of Switzerland, Germany, and Alsace
formed settlements in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa. In the seventies
of the last century there was a great
immigration of Mennonites from Rus-
sia to states of the Middle West and
Manitoba, They .were not native
Russians, however, but their fathers
had gone to Russia from Germany.
Within the last years great num-
bers of Russian Mennonite refugees
have arrived in Canada, others in
Mexico.

The leading principle of the Menno-
nite Church is the imperative need
of standing loyally to the teachings
of Scripture, since the Holy Scrip-
tures are given by divine inspiration.
The early Mennonites recognized the
principle that the world is antagon-
istic to true Christianity. They saw
clearly that true conformity to Scrip-
ture teaching involved nonconformity
to the world. When the world and
the civil rulers’ gave orders that con-
flicted with Scripture teaching, our
ancestors in the faith acted on the
principle, “We must obey God rather
than man.” For the sake of the
Word of God and of the principles
of evangelical Christianity they en-
dured the cruel persecution. The
history of those who loyally stood
for the Gospel in its entirety, under
the,, most,;,adverse: .conditions,,, 1s./.a
mighty testimony for the truth, a
testimony that is especially timely
in our day. May we follow their
noble example of uncompromising
loyalty to the old Bible faith.

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
OF EVANGELISM

By John W. Hess

In June it will be forty-four years
since our first series of evangelistic
meetings was held in the Mennonite

Church. The Lord blessed this first
meeting with nine confessions.

Bro. John S. Coffman was the
pioneer evangelist. The Lord laid

a heavy burden on his heart for more
efforts along this line, and especially
fitted him and blessed him in this
work. Many of our congregations
were losing their young people, and
were anxious for the special efforts
that were being made, and calls came
from many places for series of evan-
gelistic meetings.

Some of the congregations seemed
to be afraid of this new method,

and would not allow such _ efforts,

10 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK

es

while others would only allow three
meetings in succession. .

The first series of meetings held in
Lancaster County, Pa., was conducted
by Bro. A. D. Wenger, about twenty
years ago. This meeting was brought
about by. many prayers, and the
Lord blessed it with some seventy
confessions.

Bro. Noah 'H. Mack’ a. few” years
later, held a meeting that will not
soon be forgotten. The Lord blessed
this meeting with about one hundred
and twenty-five confessions. These
meetings were not without criticism
by those who looked upon this work
with disfavor. We, however, had
some very active ministers before
these periods, whose life and work
we very much. appreciate. Among
these were Bro. Benjamin Eby of
Canada, Bros. Peter. and Martin
Burkholder, of Virginia, Bros. Peter
Eby, Amos Herr and Jacob N. Bru-
baker, of . Pennsylvania,:.. and Bro.
John M. Brenneman of Ohio.

Since these evangelistic efforts have
proved so helpful, to the cause of
Christ; and) thes Churehapoue,, ell
our congregations are holding regular
serics of evangelistic meetings, but
some did not see the need of such
efforts, until the church was dying
out because of no young’ people
coming in.

In the last year, a hundred or more,
of our: ministers were engaged in
holding one or more series of meet-
ings, most of.them with good results.

The Pacific Coast Conference re-
ports 13 meetings, 155 sermons, with
113 confessions.

The Southwestern Pa., Conference
reports 177 sermons with 90. con-
fessions.

The Illinois conference reports ten
series of meetings, without giving
the number of sermons and confes-
sions. We are sorry that these re-
ports cannot be definitely given of
all our conferences. The Missouri-
Kansas conference, in their mission

letter of . December reported, ten
meetings which were in progress or
would soon begin. We are glad for
the progress. made in these. efforts.
Note the change from one or a few
holding such meetings. We now
have at least one hundred ministers
who do evangelistic work. We hope
the number will continue to increase
until every minister will be evangel-
istic in his preaching, and will have

a great burden to win souls for
Christ. “He that winneth souls is
wise. to CProvar data?

Thru these. meetings, or special

efforts, we have gathered very many
children and young people into the
Church, and we praise the Lord for
them. .

As. we think back of the many
who were lost to our beloved Church,
who might have been active workers
with us, our hearts, are made. sad;
brt as we think of the many faith-
ful, active workers in the Lord’s vine-
yard now at work, our hearts rejoice.

The Church did not have as many
problems then, practically no young
people’s problems, for nearly all of
the members were’ of mature age, and
had married before they united» with
the Church, and only the more stable
united with us. The method of teach-
ing was more adapted for such mem-
bers.

With these changed conditions of
our membership many new problems
are continually arising. Some ques-
tions of importance for us to think
about are: Are we teaching these
dear young people what they need in
order to grow, or are we still teach-
ing and preaching as though we had
all matured minds, or such who have
settled down in life? Have our efforts
in feeding the flock, especially the
lambs, kept the pace with the efforts
in gathering them into the fold? Do
we realize the strong tendencies that
are confronting our younger members
while going to school, in a_ social
way, and many other ways?

AND DIRECTORY 11

I do not mean that we need more
sermons where scholarship and cul-
ture is very prominent. The follow-
ing table from the United States
Bureau of Education shows we still
have many who need the truth in
a simple way. Every one hundred
boys in the fifth grade, dwindles
down to. eighty-two in the sixth
grade. They shrink to seventy-one in
the seventh grade This leaves sixty-
three to complete the grammar
school, Thirty-four start in first
year high school, twenty-four finish
the year as sophomores, eighteen
qualify as juniors, thirteen receive a
diploma, seven enter college, five re-
turn and finish the second’ year,
three are able to qualify for senior
work. Out of the original one
hundred, one graduates in college.

We need more sermons, especially
for the young people, more spiritual
conversations with our babes in
Christ, more definite work with them,
asking for their prayers in our work,
giving them special tasks in personal
soul) winning, or encouraging weak
members, or inviting them along with
us while doing such work. Paul
asked every church to pray for him
but one, the backslidden church of
Galatia.

We need more men like the apostle
Paul, or men who are willing to
follow his method. He not only
asked for prayers but was very, per-
sonal in his prayers, which shows a

deep, sympathetic, personal interest.
Let. us notice a. few .examples:
Rom. 1:9, “That .without, ceasing I

make, mention of you in. my. pray-
ens;i’ lL. Gor, 74,1 uthank,.my.,God

ee sete, 4.2) os tnanic. my) God

Col. 1:9, “Do not cease to pray for

of you,-

in all wisdom and_ spiritual under-
standing;” I Thes. 1:2, “We give
thanks to God always for you all,

Weavers, El) Lim lsd). Sonat with
out ceasing I have remembrance
of thee in my prayers night and
day;” Phil. 1:4, “I thank my God
making mention of thee always in
my prayers.”

In Romans 16 Paul gives thirty-
seven names, thus showing his per-
sonal contact, and interest in them.

In looking forward we see large
opportunities, great responsibilities,
also many dangers, confronting us.
Some of the dangers I see are re-
ceiving» members, who show no evi-
dence of repentance and an obedient
life in Christ. Such ones usually
mean cold formal church members,
not only cold and formal, but dis-
obedient. Coldness, formality, and
disobedience often means _ lifelessness,
and is followed by seeking enjoyment
in the world. Being careless and un-
concerned about conditions like these
as they exist among church mem-
bers, will greatly hinder the winning
of souls, in time to come.

The opportunities I see are a large
number of willing, anxious people
to. teach by precept and example.
Young people are always more easily
impressed, more willing to give up,
therefore easier to teach. The op-
portunity of helping im the continu-
ing of holding up a full Gospel, build-
ing up a church that stands for what
the world sadly needs, a converted
membership, living out in daily life,
non-resistance, non-conformity, ana
the literal living out of the ordinan-
ces as taught in the Bible. By build-
ing up such a church, we will have
the spirit of evangelism continually
in all our services. In our experience,
we find many people who are anxious
for spiritual help, and also spiritual
work, and we have found many
young church members who are very
loyal to the Church and her teach-
ings when they get this encourage-

ment. In seeing and meeting with
such opportunities from time _ to
time, the responsibilities of doing our
best looms up before us often, and
we cannot help but say, “Lord give

CURRENT ISSUES AND HOW
TO MEET THEM

Pay ccdles Manic OIseh

Beloved, when I gave all diligence
to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to
write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered unto
the saints” (Jude 3).

There are many issues before the
Church today which threaten to un-
dermine the fundamentals of the faith,
and they bring with them some very
perplexing problems. We shall con-
sider a few of them and if’ we can
offer a few helpful suggestions we
shall have accomplished our purpose.
If we shall continue to maintain our
testimony for Christ, as the enemy
comes in like a flood, we must lift
up a standard against him.

I. The New Theology.—Here the
authenticity of the Holy Scriptures
is thrown aside, even denying our
Lord Jesus Christ and His blood
atonement, and enthroning the hu-
man mind and allowing it to be the
supreme judge. We find here the
outspoken higher critic class who
hold out a social program of religion
and are easily detected. “From such
turn away.”

Following are a few statements
common to them: (1) “I don’t care
if God mussed up His hands in mud
to make Adam, or if he sprang from
cell life according to Darwin’s theory,
latter—denying the
creation. Gen. 2:7. (2) “Every child
has its own garden of Eden and
must have its own fall if it ever has

preferably the

one’—denying the fall of man. Gen.
3:6. (3) “The slaughter-house re-
ligion was all right for the dark ages,
but it is indeed a very inadequate
for this enlightened age’—
denying the essence of the blood
atonement. Heb. 9:22, (4) “The child
shall grow up a Christian and never
know himself otherwise,’—thus deny-
ing the effect of the fall. Rom. 5:12.
(5) The example of Jesus’ life as an
ideal is the dynamic force’ which
makes a Christian—denying the re-
demptive work of Christ. Col. 1:20.
These are only a few of the out-
spoken denials of “the faith once de-
livered to the saints.”

Then there is another class who
hold more or less of these destructive
theories, but do not publicly ac-
knowledge. it. These teachers can

usually be detected not so much in.

what they say and teach, as in what
they do not say.

Then still another class will accept
all the fundamentals of the Christian
faith as truth, but they say that this
is not essential. Thus the result is
after all a denial of the Christian
faith. In view of these alarming

‘conditions in many churches (also in

educational institutions of our land—
where young men and women are re-
ceiving their training for service,
those who are to fill our pulpits and
hold important positions in our
churches in the near future if the
Lord tarries) let us put forth every
effort:

1. That parents be informed on
these dangers. There are too many
parents who say “I don’t understand
these things,” hence give them little
more than a passing thought.

2. That we are very careful what
kind of teaching our young people
are getting in our high schools,
normals’ and colleges. I have in
mind a fine young man, 'a son of
Mennonite parents who came home
from the State Normal School, and
made this statement: I will not ac-

cept a single thing in the Bible
unless I can reason it out in my own

mind.”

3. The ministry should at all
times come out with a clear, ringing
testimony for Jesus Christ and Him
crucified.

4. We should inform our young
people of the dangers confronting
the Church along this line and really

in earnest contend for the faith once

for all delivered to the saints.

church leaders greatly rejoicing over

church in one year, and they should

easily satisfied along this line.

2. Then there are those who re-
joice in this that they are succeeding
in gathering in their own children
from time to time.

3. Still another class is struggling

to be able to hold. what members

they have and at the end of the year
find that a goodly number have with-
drawn,—some to other denominations
giving them more worldly liberty,
and others back to the present evil
world.

Why these conditions? Let us bear
in mind that Christ commissioned us

to seek the lost (Matt. 28:19), and

not the lost to seek the church. (1)
We need more ministers who have a

vision of the need of a lost and

dying world. (2) We need a wit-
nessing church that is willing to be a
living testimony of Christ and His

things for the Lord even in these last
and. perilous times. i spay
Ill. Poor Church Attendance.—
“Not forsaking the assembling. of
ourselves together, as the manner. of
some is; but exhorting one another:
and so much the more as ye see the
day approaching” (Heb. 10:25). There
seems to be a great tendency on the

part of ‘many to overlook the im-

‘portance of church attendance even

among those who consider themselves
in good standing. I think of an old
brother, who has now gone to his
reward, who in relating past ex-
periences, said that when he was a
young man they had about thirty
miles to go to church, and that on
foot. They left home on Saturday
morning and got to the place of
worship in time for service on Sun-
day morning.
Now we have our comfortable
houses of worship so located that we
have from two to eight miles in an
auto, a matter of a few moments of
comfortable riding and we are there;
and yet in many of our congregations
the attendance. averages far below
fifty per. cent of the membership.
As long as we cannot get our mem-
bers to see the importance of enjoy-
ing the blessings of being at their
place in every service unless pre-
vented by sickness etc., we will make
little impression on a lost world.

I have in mind a brother’ who,
having had a headache one Sunday
evening, said, “I believe I: will not
go to young people’s meeting this
evening.” After a little he found
that one after another of the family
had decided to do likewise and he,
seeing the situation, said, “We will
all go.” This family lives six miles
from church and is seldom absent
in any of. the. services.

IV. Worldly Alliances.—‘‘Know ye
not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God” (Jas. 4:4)?
Jesus came to call out a people for
His name from among all nations

‘14

to be set apart, sanctified, and to
witness for Him. There seems to be
a tendency on the part of many to
become entangled again with the
present evil world in various ways:

1. In businessentanglements,
where the believer becomes entangled
with questionable transactions, thus
dosing his influence for Christ.

2. In politics. The political pro-
gram is one of greed for gain, honor,
and applause of men with much
rivalry, ete. It has been. truthfully
said by a political man that it is no
place for a Christian.

3. Mixedis:marr ages.';;- There. are
many young men in our Mennonite
churches. that unite, in» marriage and
become one flesh with women that
profess Christianity but come in. all
the vanities and. frivolities of the
world, with bobbed hair, and painted
faces, and it is with difficulty that
we can believe that they have the
welfare of the church at heart, and
believe in the simple Christian life.
It is easy to guess the effect this
-will have on the future church. | In
‘this very often lies the reason why so
“many of our young sisters are drift-

nancial responsibility. This means
not only a_ responsibility to those
who are connected with the schools,

to the entire Church because it is

served by these institutions. People
must learn that this is a necessity
in this day. The fact that the past

it should is no reason why the effort
should be declared a failure, and
the only safe attitude to take is to
face the question squarely and bring
it to a solution in a way that en-

uphold our positions as Christians.

With all the above there must be

developed among our people an edu-
cational conscience, a conscience a-
gainst educating their children under
the blighting influence of schools
which are in the hands of modernist
thinkers who sweep away their foun-
dation and shake their faith in God,
a conscience that education is no
luxury belonging to the
few but a need among the many in

taining to their own faith and the
religious life of their children, neither
of which can long exist under modern
conditions unless safe-guarded in the
fear of the Lord by placing their
children in safe hands during their
school years.

All this can not be accomplished
without an effort. It will take prayer-
ful effort, persistent toil, and persever-
ing thought to accomplish this. It
will require more than a_ passive
recognition of the problem by those
who are outside of the immediate
organization to work out a program,
carry itS provisions into effect, and
create a consciousness of the need

among the many. May we _ soon
learn that “A man’s life does not
consist in the abundance of the

things which he possesseth,’ but in
a rounded out character builded on
a foundation laid in Christ Jesus. built
up according to His plan and used to
His glory. To this end our schools
have been established, and for this
purpose they were dedicated that they
might contribute in their way to the
cause of the Lord.

following resolution was passed:

ference a group of brethren’ took
steps toward securing funds and the

erection of a building. The Lord so

prospered their efforts that on Oct.
25, 1908, a large building was dedi-
cated, located five miles west of La
Junta, Colo.

Since that time over a_ thousand
patients have been received and cared
for. Approximately $50,000 has been
expended in caring for those who
either had no funds, or insufficient
funds to pay their way. During this
time about 200 different workers have
put some time in the work here.

In the year 1913 an additional tract
of land, consisting of 240 acres, was
purchased for the Sanitarium. This
land lies directly west of the Sani-
tarium and is an added source of in-
come for the institution.

In the year 1913 steps were taken
toward the establishment of a Nurses’
Training School. Arrangements were
finally completed whereby we re-
ceived recognition as an _ accredited
training school. 12 nurses have al-
ready completed the course and are
registered under the laws of the
state of Colorado.

Jan. 1, 1920, the Mennonite Board
of Missions and Charities assumed
management and control of the City
Hospital of La Junta, Colo. The
building, equipment, and endowment
were given to us free of charge. We
responsibility for manage-
ment, control, and operating expense.
The hospital has been operated for
four years and has cost the church,
excepting donated labor, almost noth-
ing. But tt has given us an oppor-
tunity to testify to the world for
Christ that we would not have had

otherwise.
’ At the annual meeting of the
Mennonite Board of Missions and

Charities held near Kalona, Iowa, in
1919, a petition was presented by the
Mennonite Sanitarium Board of La
Junta, Colo., requesting the General

‘Board to take steps toward building

a hospital. They acted by appointing

19°

a committee to come to La Junta and
investigate. This committee, com-
posed of G. L. Bender, D. H. Bender
and D. J. Fisher, reported to the
Executive Committee of the Mission
Board. Because of the far-reaching
effects and demands of such a move-
ment, this committee referred the
question to the Mennonite General
Conference. The Conference assem-
bled at Harrisonburg, Va., in Aug.
1919, took action in open conference
looking with general favor toward
the proposed movement but recom-
mended that a committee be ap-
pointed to make investigations and
report to the next biennial confer-
ence. The committee presented a
report at the conference held at
Garden City, Mo.,) in’ 1921..On) mo-
tion the committee was retained on

condition that they continue their
work of investigation. They again
reported to the conference held at
Waterloo, Ontario. The following

resolution was passed and the com-
mittee discharged.

Resolved, That this Conference look
with favor upon every effort to re-
lieve human sufferings and to prepare
our voung people for faithful service;
provided that after mature considera-
tion such efforts will be found prac-

tical and nothing about them that
will lead to unscriptural entangle-
menis.

Since the question of building hos-
pitals naturally belongs to our Mis-
sion Board, we refer this work to the
Mennonite Board of Missions and
Charities with the assurance that if,
after careful consideration, that body
decides to go ahead with the enter-
prise. it shall have our support and
prayers.

In accordance with this action the
Mennonite Board of Missions and
Charities in its Executive Committee
meeting appointed a committee, com-
posed of Bros. D. H. Bender and
S. E. Allgyer, to come to La Junta
and further investigate the situation
there. This committee recommended
the sale of the Sanitarium building.
Negotiations were begun and finally
resulted in the sale of the Sanitarium

ferring to the early

The importance of a fresh study
of our history arises principally from
the fact that the leading . church
historians (of Europe), who have
done research work in this general
field, are representatives of state
church Protestantism. It is unfortun-
ate that, from.the viewpoint of. state
church Protestantism, it seems un-
desirable to bring to light the whole
truth about the origin, principles, and
early history of the Mennonites.
There is still a marked tendency to
portray the fathers of the Mennonite
Church as at least in a measure
deserving the treatment which they
received at the hands of the dominant
Protestant churches. The truth about
the principles and character of the
Mennonite church fathers will place
those who sanctioned their persecu-
tion in an unfavorable light. Yet
the truth of history cannot forever
be suppressed. The old saying,
“Truth crushed to earth will rise
again” is here applicable.

The question whether the study
of the material collected in our
library has led to any tangible re-
sults. of practical value in establish-
ing important facts can be
_ affirmatively A number

new
answered,

of such facts may be worth mention-
ing.

1. All writers of books and pamph-
lets, who express themselves on the
subject, hold forth the unwarranted
opinion that the Mennonites descend-
ed from a sect, or sects, called Ana-
baptists. It has been supposed that
the founders of the Mennonite
Church, Grebel, Manz and others,
shared in a measure the unsound en-
thusiastic cpinions of certain Ana-
baptist sects, and after their death
their followers modified and changed
their creed and accepted the Menno-
nite tenets. This view is. defended
in a recent book written by a Menno-

nite historian, Dr. Corneltus Berg-
mann, entitled Die Tauferbewegung

in Kanton Z rich, an important work
that is considered strictly. up to date.

Now on the ground of the ma-
ter'al collected in our library it can
be definitely shown that the founders
of the first congregation in Zurich
were free from the unsound teachings
‘aid to their charge: in other words,
that this congregation was a Menno-
nite church from the beginning. It
is needless to say that this is an im-
portant fact. It gives the early
history of our people a quite differ-
ent general aspect. It is scarcely
necessary to repeat here that the
name “Anabaptists’ (Wiedertaufer=
rebaptizers) was given all who did
not recognize infant baptism as Scrip-
tural. Even today our people in cer-
tain sections of Europe are known
by this name. Among the sects
called Anabaptists the Mennonites
were the oldest. The other Anabap-
tist sects were of later origin.

2. The h’storians of state church
Protestantism have advanced serious
charges concerning the cause of the
separation’ of the early Mennonite
leaders from the state church. They
have defended the view that Conrad
Grebel and Felix Manz acted from
motives of jealousy and ambition.
It is alleged that they envied Zwingli

|

|
|
f
|
|

AND DIRECTORY 23

for his position of leadership and
decided to make a division in order
to become leaders.

Now it is remarkable that the evi-
dence refuting this theory is found
in Zwingli’s owm writings. Strange
to say, this has not been noticed by
any writer on the subject. In a
book written in 1524 Zwingli states
that Grebel and his friends came to
him often and urged him to renounce
the Roman Catholic Church and
organize a pure Christian church in-
dependent of the state.
further (since his livelihood depended
on his office as a priest) that they
offered him adequate means for his
support, if he would comply with
their earnest entreaties.

There is overwhelming proof that
they did all in their power to per-
suade Zwingli to organize a New
Testament church. For a long time

they found it impossible to believe .

that he would finally decide for a
state church since this was contrary
to his former views as. expressed
clearly in his writings. Only after
the senate of Zurich, on Zwingli’s
advice, ordered them to have their
infants baptized and forbade _ their
meetings, did they give up the hope
to win Zwingli. Then they proceed-
ed without him to baptize and to
organize a church.

3.. Another commonly accepted o-
pinion is that the Anabaptist sects
which were given to fanaticism were
originally ‘of the same stock as the
first Mennonite congregation. This
opinion has recently again been ex-
pressed by a prominent Mennonite
historian of Germany. It can be
definitely disproved.

4. Quite recently Professor Knap-
pert, of Holland, in an important
work, speaks of Menno Simons as
follows: “A man of great importance
yet, with all his consecration, a weak
character.” That such is the gen-
eral opinion of historians is evident
from the fact that the leading his-
torian of the Mennonites of Holland

Zwingli says |

has quoted the above sentence with
approval,

This opinion concerning Menno
Simons is based on the supposition
that Menno, against his better judge-
ment, accepted a certain view re-
garding excommunication. and avoid-
ance. It is alleged that this view was
advocated by Leonard Bouwens who,
by a threat of excommunication, com-

pelled Menno to accept it. Rather
than risk excommunication, which
would destroy his influence, Menno
showed himself weak and_ yielded

against his better knowledge.

Now, what is the evidence for
these strange suppositions? They
are founded on a certain report of
a meeting of Mennonite bishops held

in 1557 at Harlingen in Holland.
This report was written by Hans
Alenson in 1620, more than three

score years after the meeting took
place. Alenson received an_ oral
report of the meeting from another
person whose name he does not give.
This second person had his report
from a third party, an opponent of
Menno Simons, named Apolonia
Ottes, who claimed that she was
hiding behind the door of the room
in which the meeting was held and
could give a reliable report. The
story which she told according to
Alenson’s statement, is an impossible
one. It sounds like a dream, yet
there “vis + no! way of ascertaining
whether we have her story, as she
told it. It. is needless to enlarge
here on the worthlessness of third-
hand testimony, given two genera-
tions after the event. Moreover, it
is clear from Menno Simons’ writ-
ings that the view of “avoidance”
which he is supposed to have accept-
ed from Bouwens was defended by
Menno many years before the meet-
ing in Harlingen took place.

5. Concerning the relationship of
such men ‘as. Hubmeier, Denck,
Hatzer, Hofmann, Schwenckfeld and
others to the Mennonites there is still

much confusion that needs clearing
up.

The study of church history has
too long been neglected. We owe
it to our forefathers in the faith to
remove the odium which still attaches
to their good names. In this time
of crisis and of unscrupulous per-
version of history, when our early
church fathers are made out to be
the forerunners of Modernism, a
better acquaintance with our history
is of special importance. It should
create a greater appreciation for
“the faith once for all delivered to
the saints.”

Only a beginning has been made,
as time permitted, in studying, arrang-
ing and utilizing the material that
has been collected. Besides a great
work» remains to’ be done in complet-
ing as much as possible the collection
of important source’ material. It
is not the work of a day, nor of a
year. A practical question is, Will
the Church make it possible that
this work ‘can’ be done as it should
be? : | |

OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL QUAR-
TERLIES AND HOW THEY
ARE MADE

John L. Horst

Up until January, 1925, there were
three. English. quarterlies. published
by the Mennonite. Publishing House
—the Primary, Advanced, and Teach-
er’s. Besides, these there were print-
ed..the Lesson. Picture,.Cards, .two
German Quarterlies, and a. number
of . modifications. of :these. for sister
churches. :
The three quarterlies first men-
tioned comprised by far the greatest
amount of the Sunday School litera-
ture published by the Publishing
House. The Primary Quarterly has
been published for nineteen years,
while the Advanced and the Teach-
er’s are eighteen years old. These

‘these a Junior Teacher’s

have been edited by various brethren
in the past. At the close of 1924
the editors were Clayton F. Yake,
Primary; J. A. Ressler, Advanced;
J. R. Shank and J. A. Ressler, Teach-
erie

Mennonite
in August, 1924,

In a meeting of. the
Publication Board

It was decided to make a number

of changes. The Primary Quarterly
was ordered to be changed and adap-
ted to smaller pupils than it had
been, and a new Quarterly, called
the Junior-Intermediate, was added
to the list. The latter is especially
designed for classes between’ the
Primary ages and those using the
Advanced Quarterly. In addition to
quarterly
was arranged for, the aim of which
is to supply material for teachers of
all classes that are too young to use
the Advanced Quarterly. These new
quarterlies were sent out for the first
quarter of 1925. The editors are:
Primary, Sister Anna Loucks; Junior-
Intermediate, Bro. C. F. Yake; Junior
Teacher’s; Bros. John L. Horst and
C. F, Yake. Bros. Ressler and Shank
continue as editors of the Advanced
and’ Teacher’s. Quite a few, of our
people were not fully acquainted with
the changes that were made and
hence ordered their quarterlies with-
out considering the present rearrange-
ment. The Publishing House has
tried to fully explain these changes
so that no future misunderstanding
may occur.

In describing the process. of mak-
ing quarterlies, we. shall confine our-
selves largely to a description of
the production of our most popular
and widely-tsed lesson help, the Ad-
vanced Quarterly, which enjoys a
circulation of 45,000 per quarter.

Since we use the International Les-
sons, naturally the work of the editor
is based.on the lists which the Inter-
national Lesson Committee. supplies.
This. is little more than a list of
lesson titles and the Scripture. on

26 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK

which they are based. The Golden
Text, ‘the topics - for
and Senior pupils, and another for
Young people and Adults, as well as
the texts for the Daily Readings,
constitutes the matter which is thus
supplied. There is no comment, no
suggestion as to the treatment of
the lesson, only the bare list as
described. All the rest is left to the
editor to supply.

Bro. Ressler, who has edited the
Advanced Quarterly for thirteen
years, has the work pretty well
systemized. The first thing to be
done in preparing the matter for the
printer is: to supply the lesson texts
as found in the Bible. An old worn
Bible is used for clipping these texts.
Then the measurements for all mat-
ter to be furnished by the editor
must be computed. Few people have
an adecuate idea of the inexorable
demands that space makes upon the
editor in preparing copy for publi-
cation, whether for Sunday _ school
literature or- other: matter: ..iihere
are only so many pages for each les-
son, so many inches to each depart-
ment, all requiring a certain number
of lines of typewritten material. The
editor knows how many lines of his
typewritten matter it takes to make
a certain number of lines in the
Quarterly, and so after measuring
the Scripture lesson he is ready to
calculate how much material he must
supply for each department. This
done, he records everything on a
schedule sheet and then proceeds
with his writing.

It is interesting to take a look at
the editor’s desk. On it may be
found versions of the Scripture in
many different languages, for he is
somewhat of a linguist and delights
to compare passages in the various
translations to bring out the finer
points of meaning. The various
English versions, German, Latin,
Italian, Hindi, Urdu, Greek, and
possibly some others, may be found

Intermediate

within easy reach. A generous sup-
ply of reference books is also acces-

sible. With this equipment the editor
may be seen toiling away at his
typewriter until the material for

each quarter is ready for the printers.

It is then given a careful re-reading
and handed to the composing depart-

ment. .After’ the type is. set the
proof is read and then the make-up
man puts it into page form, after
which the proof is carefully read
again. After the corrections are
made, the pages are locked up in

forms and are ready for the press.
A final checking up of corrections
on the press proof is made by the

proofreader and then the presses
hum away for days. printing the
quarterlies. After the presses are

thru with their part of the work the
sheets are loaded on the folding
machine. Rapidly the sheets are
automatically fed into the carrying
tapes and just as rapidly they are
folded. The different folded sheets,
called signatures, are now properly
arranged and inserted, and the covers
are put on and stapled. The cov-
ers are printed on a different press
and folded separately. At the stage
of the work described above they are
assembled with the other sheets.

After this the quarterlies are placed
in a large press where they are kept
under pressure for some time, the
object being to press them perfectly
flat so as to make a _ neat book,
After being removed from the press
they are taken to the large cutter.
Here the three edges are trimmed
and the quarterlies are finally ready
for the shipping table.

While all this work was being done,

clerks were busy writing out the
orders and preparing the mailing
labels. The shipping clerk is now

ready to begin filling the quarterly
orders. The orders of fifties, forties,

and so on down the scale are counted
out, the wrappers put on and tied,

they are put into the mail bags and
weighed and then loaded on _ the
truck and hauled to the train or post-
office. The shipments for each quar-
ter amount to approximately ten
tons. It is a large work but im-
mensely worth while, for who can
measure the influence exerted by our
Sunday school literature?

THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S MEET-
ING OBJECTIVES

By C. F. Derstine

The Young People’s Meeting has
two outstanding reasons for its ex-
istence as an auxiliary of the Church.
The first reason is the development
of the Life of the attendant, the
second is the need of equipment for
Service. Life and Service are the
North and South Poles of life and
the reason for existence. We have
been called to live to the glory of
our Maker; we have been called to
be of use to God who has redeemed
us with the amazing price of the
shed blood of His only Son.

The outstanding message for the
Young People’s Meeting should be
the Gospel of the Grace of God.

This Gospel should be thoroughly
grasped by our young people. Too
often when they unite with the

Church in their younger years they
have rather hazy ideas as to the way
of salvation.

The secondary message of the
Young People’s Meeting should be
the unfolding of the Doctrines and
Principles of the Bible. This knowl-
edge of truth is indispensible. To be

ready to live one must know the
truth that is the dynamic of real
life. Doctrine is not the dry and

unpractical thing that some people
suppose it to be. It is the living
pulsating spirit that will move the
soul in correct channels of life and
action.

Then again the messages
contain the truth which will

should
make

loyal members of the Church. The
“Why of the Mennonite Church
should be constantly held forth.”

Narrow sectarianism should be avoid-
ed. Nevertheless if the Church has
a right to exist she must have truth
which we would need, or she should
cease to exist as a separate body.
This truth and these principles should
not be placed under the bushel of
silence, but should be heralded from
the housetop. Loyal members of the
church are made when they can
clearly see the truths for which our
forefathers lost home, country, yea,
even life itself.

The topics of our Young People’s
Meeting ought to contain and they
do contain the Appeal for Christian

service. The busy Christian is usual-
ly the happy and the overcoming
Christian. The young man and wo-

man of taday need to have set before
them, in the years‘ when they are
getting ready for life, the great field
of Christian endeavor. the satisfying
portion of a life dedicated to the
service of Jesus Christ. The needs
of the home community and the ser-
vice within the pales of the local
church should be stressed in many
topics. Besides .this” some of ‘the
service should be rendered by the
young people actual
community service.

The Great Mission Field of the
World should be considered. Es-
pecially ought the fields where the
church is working at the present
time be given a considerable place,
since the prayers, the money, the
workers in the future will all be taken
from the ranks of the young people
of today. There are no topics which
are so invigorating and inspiring as
the great missionary conquests of the
Christian Church.

The Social Life Problem occupies
considerable place in the considera-
tion of the Committee which pre-
pares the material for discussion in
the meetings of the young people.

themselves in

26% =

The ‘pressure from ‘the world ‘is
constantly becoming more impelling
and alluring. “Every” effort should
be made to make these messages
practical so that the young men and
women in the various localities will
be made to see the evils. Better
still they should be shown how to
have an enjoyable life without the
admixture of evil.

Giant and Petty Evils of the Day
should be considered at times so
that the ruinous, character may be
avoided by the young. Sadly tragic
is it to see the life of millions of our
youth spent during their best days,
in the’ destructive work of sowing
wild oats; then ‘spending the balance

of the years in the miserable business:

of reaping ‘the’ same.

Methods of Study should be con-
sidered in the work of the Young
People’s Meeting. Many young peo-
ple would be interested in the Bible
if they could be shown how ‘to use
a helpful. method of study in the
Scripture.

The Spiritual Apprehension of Bi-
ble Truth should be stressed in our
meetings. Too often the truth is
accepted .by. people without that
warmth and enthusiasm which helps
the individual and which should make

disciples .of . others... David once
wrote, “While I mused’ the fire
burned.” We must first know the

truth and then feel. The intellect
must be stirred before the emotions
act. Many people, and _ especially
the young, will not accept nor propa-
gate a truth which they themselves
have not grasped, nor the force of
the truth they have not felt.

Personal Fellowship with God
needs emphasis with the young peo-
ple lest they start a life detached
from God which will result in a
barren and unsatisfactory life. Abid-
ing in.Christ is a Christian essential
which dare not be disregarded. The
life that has learned the secret of the
prayer chamber has learned the se-

ers, time,

young person who walks in unbroken
fellowship with the Lord, leaving no
sin unconfessed before him, follow-
ing all the light as it has been re-
vealed to him is bound to be Satis-

REPORT OF OFFICERS
Chairman’s Report

_Another year of activity on the
field of relief work among our. un-
fortunate brethren has passed by.
Looking. backward, we have all rea-
sons to be thankful for the way. in
‘which the Lord in His mercy has
-blessed our efforts.
‘us to again extend a helping hand
vin His name to those unfortunates.
‘He has preserved and kept the per-
‘sonnel on the field; and also the

members of the ‘committee here in
the homeland.

Relative to the status of the work
abroad and the recommendations that
the Executive Committee may have
to make, I shall not here speak at
length for that will’ be’ contained in

is ‘still in’ Moscow.

It has been ‘my''good privilege ‘to:
come in contact’ with Mennonite
groups in various sections of the
country and find ‘their continued in-
terest in the work’ of’ relief, as’ well
as their concern about the welfare of
the ‘brethren in Russia. Quite gen-
erally I find an interest in, and a de-
sire for the ‘continuation ‘of relief
work even after’ this ‘emergency in
Russia has become a’ thing ‘of the
past. Our people’ aré’ conscious of
the Christian duty of relief for all
believers, and they ‘also realize that
relief work in time of’ peace and war
is peculiarly befitting a people whose
confession of faith includes the doc-
trine of non-resistance. Since a doc-
trine that expresses itself. positively
in the service of -humanity’ is ever
more acceptable, and also closer to
the teachings of the great Master,
than one which shows. itself. only in
a negative form.

Practically all of the larger Menno-

in favor of a permanent Mennonite
Relief organization, and have also
elected or appointed their represent-
ative to serve on a central board.
We trust that this wish and need of
a permanent Relief organization for
the Mennonites of America may soon
be a realized fact.

Secretary’s Report

December 30, 1924.

This year has marked the close of
our reconstruction work in Russia.
The tractors have not been sold but
according to our fast report re-
ceived from the Moscow office, there
are prospects for the final liquidation
in due time.

The field workers, the brethren
D. R. Hoeppner, Howard Yoder and
Daniel Schroeder—have been with-
drawn. Yoder and Schroeder have
returned to their homes and Hoepp-
ner has stopped in Germany to re-
sume some studies in his profession.

We now have only one American
in Russia Alvin J. Miller, in
of the Moscow office. Each
colony or settlement in Russia and
Siberia has an appointed’ committee
which has been affiliated with the
Moscow office of the American Men-
nonite Relief. Copies of reports giv-
mg the names of each and its Chair-
‘man are on file in our office.

The reconstruction work in Russia
under the care of our field workers

worker
charge

was closed about August 1. General
relief work was continued thruout
the year in Siberia. No American

‘worker was located there but Bro.
Miller spent some time in a personal
‘tour of inspection of the work. De-
tailed reports of the work are on
file for the first seven months of the
year. In the July report we have the
following:

‘No. of persons in the district, 32,758
Aid given to those under 14

years of age, 4,502
Aid given to those over 14

years of age, 2.281

-Aid given to those in institu-
‘tions,

165

-

In this report the amount given|
for the cost of the feeding per person
for the month is 55 cents. Efforts
are being made to supply the district
with a sufhcient number of sheep to
provide enough wool to supply the
population with homespun cloth for
item which is sorely
needed according to a recent report.
The report states that many boys
and girls cannot leave their homes
because of the lack of clothing and
many are being deprived of school
privileges. During the year approxi-
mately $42,000.00 has been forwarded
for the work in Russia proper and
Siberia. -. According to the present
prospects, the work must be continued
at least until another harvest. The
crops this year were nearly a total
failure in the Powlodar district.

clothing, an

Certain portions of Russia are a-
gain in very sore need of assistance
to tide them over the winter months.
The Koeppnerthal district is among
this list. Funds have been forwarded
for this purpose and the need will
continue. An early estimate had
placed the amount needed at $1,000.00

a month. In this connection we
must remember the many widows
and orphans who will find their

battle for life a very difficult one.

The clothing gathered by our sew-
ing circles during the year has been
forwarded to Germany. The need
where has been very urgent, and the
expense in forwarding to Russia has-

been prohibitive for any ‘assistance
there. i
Our further needs will center a-

in Siberia and the

assistance that may be needed in the

round the work

several stricken districts in Russia

proper. A very conservative estimate
would place the sum of the amount
month at. $5,000.00 or
$6,000.00 per month for the next six

months.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE
MENNONITES OF FRANK-
LIN COUNTY, PA.

John L. Horst

A few Mennonites found their way
to Franklin County as early as 1735.
Among these were Jacob Schnebele,
Samuel Bechtel, and others. The
latter was a minister for many years
but it is not known whether he was
already serving in that capacity at
that early date. It is fairly certain,
however, that there was preaching

32 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK

dwellings of these early settlers soon
after they reached their new homes.

It is not probable that many Menn-
onites came to Franklin county, at
least we have no record to that effect,
until some time after the close of
the Revolutionary, War, when. there
was a large influx of them, as well as
of other Germans, from the lower
counties, especially from . Lancaster.
It was. then that the .Sherks, Stouffers,
Lehmans, Freys, Wingerts, Eberlys,
Rissers, Hubers,. and Sollenbergers
settled in Greene, Guilford, and Let-
terkenny Townships, taking the pla-
ces of many of the . Scotch-Irish.
There is reason;to believe that . the
largest influx was between *1790 and
1800... For many years they had no
churches, but. so arranged their dwell-
ings that they held services in them
by turns. It was,in 1710 that they
erected a. church in, Greene Town-
ship, about a mile north of Chambers-
burg. This. church, has been
built, twice, but .is .still standing. on
the same site: The present building
was built in 1908. A small log church
was built in. Letterkenny Township,
about two and a, quarter. miles south

of Strasburg at, mearly the. same
time .as the, original church was
built at .Chambersburg,, .This was

replaced by a frame building, located
about a mile and_a,half farther south
than the:,original. one, in, 1859....In
recent years a brick structure has
been erected on the same site. A
church near Brown’s Mill was built
many years ago.” It “was ‘abandoned
and. a new one built,’ in /1867, ‘about
one mile! north’of~Marion, on the
road leading -from that place to
Chambersburg. This’ building too
has been ,replaced..by...a;;new brick
structure in. recent, years. In 1860
another church ;was.erected in, South-
amption. Township, at. the lower end
of Culbertson’s. Row... It is known
as the Row. Church and. is located
about four miles southwest of. Ship-
pensburg, near. the village of Pinola.

Reformed Mennonites

One of the first of this branch of
the Mennonites to emigrate to Frank-
County was Christian Frantz
who moved from Lancaster County
in 1825 and settled on a farm

near
Waynesboro, Pa. He was a minister,
having been ordained while © still
living in Lancaster County. The

THE WAY OF THE CROSS

We may spread our couch with roses,
And sleep. through the summer day;.
But the soul that in sloth reposes,
Is not-in the narrow way.
If we follow the chart that is given,
- We need not be at a loss,
For the only way to Heaven .-~
Is the Royal Way of the Cross.

To one who is reared in splendor
The cross is a heavy load;
And the feet that are soft and tender
Will shrink from the thorny road;:.
But the chains of the soul must be-
riven,
And wealth must be as dgpss;
For the only way to Heaven
Is the Royal Way of the Cross.

We say we will walk to-morrow
The path we refuse to-day, .
And still with our lukewarm sorrow
We shrink from the narrow way..
What heeded the chosen eleven
How the fortunes of life might toss
As they followed their Master to
Heaven
By the Royal Way of the Cross?

ing an investment with the institution and eternity alone will reveal
the final results of these investments. Every Christian home recog-
nizes the need of good literature. Will you help to supply it? Please
note the following forms which are now being offered:

1. Donations. Past records will show that the money given for
this cause has increased in value three-fold while it has been possible
to supply our homes with religious literature and at the same time
make direct contributions to our mission stations, charitable institu-
tions, and educational work. Every home that has been touched by
our periodicals has been benefited in one way or another.

2. Annuities. Five and Six Per Cent Cash Annuities are offered
to any one wishing to place $100.00 or more. By this method the
donor will receive the interest semi-annually in cash during his nat-
ural lifetime. The Gospel Herald and Christian Monitor Annuities
are also offered through which the equivalent of five per cent is
realized during a natural lifetime—a mutual arrangement which is
helpful both to the institution and the annuitant. :

3. Loans. Since the Board has assumed a certain amount of
the obligations in the erecting of the building, this has been met in
the form of Loans. Instead of borrowing this money from _ banks,
the larger part has been furnished by individuals throughout the
Church. These loans are covered by notes given by the Publishing
House under instructions of the Board. There is still an opportunity
for others to share in this. A certain portion is yet being borrowed
from banks. Certain individuals having placed money here have since
made other investments and are calling for their money. We invite
further deposits of $100.00 or more for one or more years at any rate
of interest demanded by the depos'tor not to exceed 6% per annum.
Interest is paid annually when due. Notes renew automatically when
the interest is paid unless notice demanding payment is given 30
days before due. This phase of our work has been very agreeable
both to the House and Board as well as to the investor.
